Patek sapphire crystal treatment
So I wore a Patek today and as I tried to take a picture the reflections kept getting in the way, when we I try to get a decent photo of my 5170 it’s a challenge and I never can use studio strobes. Which brings me to my question, why doesn’t Patek and for...
Don’t have to
Personally, I like how the sapphire crystal on my vacheron reflects a bit. It makes the watch shiny.
That's A Problem
Yet PP does not seem to feel the need to. They're well-aware of the situation. The question is do they care? And if not, then ask yourself why they don't care. IMHO your best bet is to chat with a few independent watchmakers about Patek's current quality....
I'm not a fan AR on the outside of a crystal. AR scratches more easily then the crystal and imho scratches in the ar are worse then no ar at all
I think Patek, Rolex, VC etc don't use it partially due to the lack of durability and partially because they like the bling of a reflective crystal.
